    How did you pick your pack?

    Take a look at your hunting style as well. Some packs function better for a bush whacking still hunter than others. Some are more ideal for guys with a more curved back Some fit the skinny athletic guys better. You will get Quality and dependability in all the top packs- but fit, style and...

    Your go to Broadheads!?

    Slick standards were my choice for years until some QC issues - went to Tooth of The Arrow 4 blade 1”. They are not as sharp as the slicks - but I can get them sharp enough. So far they are working well for blacktail, mule deer and hogs. Elk on the hit list this year. Effective range currently...

    Exo Mountain K4?

    1- I have always favored the ability to use a meat shelf over the bag so I can adjust the meat higher to fit my frame and curved back better. I was disappointed when I saw the new meat shelf was Soo long- however after some testing - for me maximizing the height of the meat shelf fit perfect for...

    Exo k4 5000 Side Pocket load out?

    I don't have a K4 5000, however all of EXO bags over the years have had the same basic layout. For day trips: I would divide my first aid kit, game bags, knives, saw This would fill about 1/3 of the bottom and leave the main bag open for rain gear, clothing layers, food, etc. backpack trips: I...

    Ark vs Duplex, a comparison review

    Thanks for taking the time to offer up your opinion on the two frames. My question is - can the Ark lumbar pad work on the DL frame?

    Low Poundage and BH

    I would recommend the 3 blade Wac’em .. never liked the 2 blade- even with bleeders. They penetrate, but overall cut is smaller and can produce poor blood trails. Wacem is true COC head, not the chisel kind with razor sharp blades.

    KIFARU ARK FRAME review

    Thanks for posting the actual difference. Still think it’s crazy that 98% of customers need 25”. Are you able to put the ARK lumbar pad on the DL?

    New Packs from Kifaru 2024

    I owned all EXO frames (25”- until the K4) 24 & 26 kifaru frames. I can make a 25” work- but that extra angle of lift the 26 gives me feels so much better not only with daily pack weight- but especially with heavy loads. If the pack won’t be on your back all day for day hunts (stop and glass...

    New Packs from Kifaru 2024

    I appreciate that information. That is what I feared- I own both 24 and 26. Disappointing for all of us users of the 26.

    New Packs from Kifaru 2024

    Still waiting for more real world reviews- but I think this pic showcases my initial concerns of the new frame height. Looks to be an average guy (5’10”).. with a heavy load (leaning forward in pic) and you can clearly see he has almost zero load lifter lift! Assuming it’s a 25” frame- that’s...

    Xcurve vs Krux question

    For me I feel the EXO gives the least resistance when shooting my bow of the top packs. However- when the adrenaline is going I don’t feel the resistance as much- but do notice my shot groupings not as on point with packs that had more resistance.

    Kifaru Ark vs Exo K4?

    You would think it would be easy for a company to have the ability to mix/match belt and lumbar pads to fit 100% of the clientele. Being pear shaped with a curved back- the kifaru fits great. Luckily the K4 can be mod to fit the kifaru lumbar system.

    Centerfire rifle drop testing: Tikka/SWFA

    I did read the "how to mount a scope".. however, I do think a sticky from @Formidilosus on what a person could do to actually test to ensure their rifle and scope are proofed would be appreciated. Understanding the premise that the scope will fail before the rifle, but if we choose to test our...

    Q&A for Leupold Mark 5 Field Evals

    Sorry for the ignorance- what is a BEAST scope? Not sure if an acronym for something or if something else autocorrected to it?
